In Germany some of them glued themselves to a car showroom floor so the staff turned off the heating and lights, locked up, and refused to allow access to them. They seriously thought the company would provide food and drink. By the following morning they were cold, hungry, and had pi$$ed and sh@t themselves; at which point they realised that what they had done was very stupid.
Won't do that again then!
@@DavidGirling Brilliant idea 🤣🤣🤣
@HughzieTube Never underestimate the stupidity of human rights lawyers and judges. I won't be surprised to hear the car dealership gets taken to court and found guilty. .
Experience is a harsh teacher.
@@darnstewart cant as they trespassed. and everything was self inflicted.
The fact it took 2 months for someone with aggressive cancer to get a rescheduled appointment is an inditement of the state the NHS is in
Even more reason the hold up was abhorrent
And your inability to spell is an indictment of the education system.
So it’s the governments fault is it
@@gazwj Yeah that was complete bollocks. Aggressive essentially means Stage IV Metastatic cancer. Was this a first appointment or a post diagnosis one.
There are processes in place to make sure people wait less than 31 days for discovery appointments and if aggressive cancer is suspected that can be reduced to 3 days.
@timothyking2248 yes.
I'm Irish, so I wasn't affected by the acts. I am astounded that some comments failed to grasp the seriousness of their actions. There were several cases where Ambulances carrying seriously injured people were delayed, posing a risk to life. Several acts involved criminal damage, In my humble opinion, I believe they were not harsh enough.
As a cancer patient myself things are stressful enough without these idiots . I am fortunately surrounded by wonderful selfless people at Baths RUH hospital .
The thing is, these are not the idiots that caused the real issue in the cancer treatment point. That issue comes from tories crippling the NHS, but nobody is putting them up in court for that...
Good luck with your treatment 💗
@@annewhite2040 Thank you
No appointment available for five months?!?! NHS

They openly declared their preparedness to be imprisoned for their cause, so let them bask in their glory inside for a few years.
You're happy to pay, knowing that violent criminals are being released early to make way for these people?
@@jonescrusher1violent criminals are not being released early. They don't meet the criteria for the early release scheme.
@@theozzy4717 Those criteria won't apply to all violent offenders.

Yes - let them grow weary of their "badge of honor" ;)
The result of these protests is significantly greater than mere "disruption." This behavior is absolutely criminal.
Hence why they were convicted for criminal offences. They are criminals.
Perhaps BBB has yet to come across Kohlbergian Moral Reasoning. Whilst the judge's comments are interesting, all the cases of delayed access to medical care or disruption would be well placed in the context of the 300k premature deaths caused by Austerity (as highlighted by Prof. Danny Dorling of Oxford University), and of the impact of the lack of action on Climate Breakdown - both of which the same government that passed this legislation were responsible for.
If we are talking of conspiracy, then what are the sentences for the PPE corruption (and the impact of that?). At levels 3/4 of Kohlbergian reasoning this all sounds reasonable. Not so much at 5/6.
Your instinct is showing
Yes, it is criminal, hence why they faced a criminal trial and were found guilty of criminal actions... Did you not pay attention to Daniel when he said that they were found guilty of criminal actions?
They have been trained and instructed by a greater organisation, with front shill Greta. She should be in jail for starting all this jazz.

From the disruption I think they should all have gotten longer sentences…
Stopping commerce and emergency vehicles is wrong and dangerous.
I say they should get the full bill of time and resources wasted by their actions.

That's the irony of the situation - they are (ostensibly) trying to do good by supporting an (ostensibly) worthy cause for the good of the public, yet their actions end up victimizing ...the public. Activists have many, many different ways they can promote a cause but choosing to hold up traffic for hours / days is unconscionable. Such is the stupidity of youth.
@@mikewoodman2872 agreed!!!!!if only people do protests against injustice without inconveniencing anyone or the public!!!!!!!i understand that ur cause maybe very important but my day is more important than whatever u could be fighting for i must eat breakfast and go to my 9 to 5 on time like a good citizen
i hope the 1 million foolish hongkongers would learn to be be considerate like most conservatives and right wingers!!!!!!
hong kong should implement these laws immediately if they havent. if these stop oil protests are considered a public nuisance and
i cant imagine what a million people taking to the streets of hong kong constitutes...the amount of disruption to the country and economy itself when the population of hong kong is a mere 7 million.......the break down in society not to mention the acts of violence and arson and vandalism of both private and public property and even a death. using the arguments that those acts are not only nuisances but a threat to the security and stability and fabric of society.
of course conservatives dont care......a cause which they do not care and a bunch of folks whom in their eyes are a nuisance more than anything.....they see things only on the surface if it tickles or amuses them, safe and secure in the fact that one day they might not encounter the need to protest something, maybe a unpopular government, or an extremely unfavourable act or a series of unpopular economic policies or maybe for higher wages......
conservatives are simple minded folks, they rarely do consider the deeper implications of such policies......and the long term consequences....
conservatives just think on the surface value......they dont consider how such acts and laws and policies could very be easily be used not just against stop oil protestors......how it can be turned against them one day and used to curtail their inalienable rights and fundamental rights to freedom or speech or protest......
the laws are so vague an
professional protesters.
Only 5 years? Now let everyone sue them for lost wages.
They probably could do that.
I very much hope there are civil cases to follow. As well as the individuals, the company Climate Ecology Awareness Ltd could be sued. This is the financial vehicle, run by Hallam, they handles the finances of Just Stop Oil.
A reality check.
Check mate.
awesome idea
@@kodek1234 oh yeah...there are courts that will pay that off.....come on man !!
Does these conviction now leave them open for civil action from the relatives of the deceased who died in ambulances or were elsewise held up from attending medical help in traffic jams caused by these people??
Oooo good question.
You may have opened another can of worms there. Very good point.
First question is: Did anyone die (or suffer harm) as a result of the delays?
Obviously it was one of the major worries people had around these protests (other than just wanting to get on with their day)
But were there any actual instances where it caused harm? If no, then no.
For the Cancer patient, maybe, probably the one with the strongest case. For the Special needs kids.. maybe..
If people died as a result of ambulance delays should they have been charged with manslaughter?
@@dzzopethat’s a lot of letters to say nothing.
Just Stop Oil activists have been accused of blocking an ambulance with "blue lights on" as it tried to weave its way through a demonstration on Waterloo London. Police made at least 40 arrests after activists refused to move away with some slow marching towards The Strand.
They murdered someone?
@@bevdavis4148 Their stupidity put more than one life at risk, caused at least a dozen accidents. Far as I am concerned they should never be released.
Finally at last the police are doing something.
@@malcolmabram2957Yes, this and they are finally clamping down on the unauthorized singing of church music.
@@bevdavis4148 indirectly and by proxy
I'm delighted that they faced a judge who understood the devastation to the lives of ordinary people their stupidity caused. I hope the punishment deters other activists but if not I hope similar punishment is administered. Anyone criticizing the penalties should be investigated for links to the conspiracy and if such links exist they be prosecuted too. We've had enough disruption by maniacs thank you.
So would you support a bill banning protests and public demonstrations since you clearly seem to not understand the importances of disruptive actions, but I guess if you get to work on time it doesn't matter if democracy dies?

The irony is the just stop oil actions consumed more oil then if there had been no disruption.
But they don't care. They're just "concerned" about disrupting people's lives. Left wing politicians deserve half the blame for letting them do this for so long.
A petty irony. The real irony is the minute scale of social & economic disruption compared w. the routine impacts of Big Oil around the world esp in poor countries where lives, environments are destroyed by this industry and the growing evidence before our eyes of colossal destruction and extinctions.

He didn’t blame himself (after all he got a degree which makes him an expert 🤔)He didn’t blame the area (wettest , Be abuse he knew better) no it was climate change. Hallam like most of these eco protesters would like the UK to go back to the dark ages they also have another thing in common in that they come from well off families and have been given the privilege of been given the best education. They have also never had to struggle ie to make ends meet as if they or their families have no money.

I was fortunate to witness Lord Chief Justice Lane in action many years ago. He was critical of the sitting judges at the Crown Court in question of their leniency: actually passing suspended sentences on top of suspended sentences that had previously been breached and as a result for the three weeks he was sitting, very few people left the dock, almost all being sent down. Justice must be seen to be done. I applaud the sentencing judge in this instance and believe he was exceptionally lenient giving the disruption to proceedings and the contempt shown to the court by the defendants.
😅
What about the contempt the oil lobby has for people living in this country?

Fascinating, Daniel, to an American who rarely thinks that sentences here are strict enough, the outrageous scope of this so called protest borders on domestic terrorism to me. It’s fortunate that more unwitting, innocent people weren’t harmed by the action. Law enforcement officers were also put in extreme danger. The sentences were more than just in my opinion.

If 'Just Stopping Oil' was really that important, then perhaps Just Stop Oil should explain why they didn't field any candidates at the General Election?
Too many complex forms to fill out. Well beyond their comprehension.
They did, and some got seats.. They did not run as “Just stop oil”, instead they stood for various parties that hold the environment at their core.
They're fundamentally anti-democractic. They're not trying to raise awareness because awareness of climate change etc is already ~100% in the UK. They're trying to make other people do what they want because they think they know better.
That would make them unambiguously, a political organisation. Despite people using climate change as a political football in our culture, JSO are an environmental advocacy and protest group. As soon as they nail their colours to a political mast, that would detract from the messaging.
Their representatives got stuck in a traffic jam caused by jso and missed the deadline.

The only thing most people will be upset about is that sentences like this weren't handed out much sooner. The right to protest, peacefully is sacrosanct. However no one has the right to obstruct others who are lawfully going about their business.
And that they were too lenient considering the costs and the disruption caused - hundreds of thousands of whom had their own costs never mentioned in court!
Funny because France blocks roads with tractors
What you are arguing for is protesting out of sight out of mind. Any effective protest must, by definition, obstruct others in some way.
@@mitchverr9330 I guess that's true if there are only 5 of you. If however you have a real cause, then peaceful protests can be organised with the police and without undue obstruction.
@@mitchverr9330Not really. You can protest on the side of the road. Nobody has a right to unlawfully detain somebody else.
The authorities were enabling this behavior, there are tons of video evidence showing how they are accommodating the activists blocking roads. And going as far to arrest people who try to move them out of the way. Disruption yes, but no mention of the rampant vandalism to historic pieces and sites? That should add to the sentence
I wish they (the justice system) could claw back these costs from the guilty people.
The economic damage they do in a one hour road block runs into the millions, they couldn't afford it.
While a nice idea, isn't viable in any sense.
Firstly, it's all estimated costs. It's hard to know definitively how much everyone suffered financially.
Secondly, it's impossible to identify and recompense every single individual who was negatively affected.
The 'justice' system should allow claw back of costs and expenses from corrupt politicians. Thinks of PPE frauds during COVID, but also HS2, & so on.

JSO deliberately endangered the public by blocking/delaying emergency services and must be sentenced appropriately.
Justice at last, British Judicial Service working perfectly for a change, next steps overhaul the remainder of the Judicial system.
I was both pleased and surprised by those sentences. I await the taxpayer funded appeal against them so I won't hold my breath until the door shuts behind them!
We already had laws that mean vandalism and obstruction is illegal.
Protesters damaging things in museums, blocking roads, that's already illegal, we didn't need any new laws, we only needed to apply the existing laws.
The government wanted to add the new laws so they could make them vague and apply them to anyone they find inconvinient in the future for any or no reason.
They encouraged and highlighted the climate protesters so the population is annoyed by them and to reduce the chance of people asking questions when the government adds more laws to have even finer control over the rest of our lives.
I don't like the climate protesters, no one does, but the government just used them to get laws passed that they will now use to abuse the rest of us.
exactly!

@@janvanruth3485 oh yes, the word fascist it’s really made a comeback being thrown around as a buzzword and insult in every conversation nowadays.
In Australia people blocking roads for protest can receive fines up to $25k, I think, but I know its a hefty fine and so it should be. There are so many ways to protest and get the attention you need/want for your cause without destroying things (orange powder paint) and/or inconveniencing the very people you want to join your cause.
You might not have 25k but an order can be placed on any property you have, such as a house, when it comes up for sale. I think that would be a deterrent rather than the "Red Badge of Courage" in prison martyrdom.
@@Morbius1963 They already had fines, community service orders and lenient periods of imprisonment so what else could the judge have done to make them come to their senses?
Suffragettes
People with no jobs that live on welfare don't really care if they get fined because the courts will only be able to impose a very low repayment plan. They might only be paying $50 per fortnight towards their fines and it doesn't matter how many they get because they are already paying the limit.
It would be better if anyone that gets a second fine before paying off their first went straight to prison till both are paid in full(they better have some generous donors as it's not easy to make money in prison).
Pretty well everything you down here cost you half a year's wages.
Great result. Hallam failed as a carrot farmer and blamed the rest of the world for his own incompetence. Give him the chance and he'd be the British Pol Pot.

I've linked the same document to a number or people now who didn't know anything about the rationale for the sentences. For me, the main point is that all have previous convictions where the penalties were clearly not sufficient in dissuading them from continuing this type of activity. With that being the case then it appears to me that the only appropriate action left available was immediate custodial sentence.

Excellent explanation. Good to have a qualified authoritative human, instead of computer generated drivel, present a vlog on a complex case where the right to protest is weighed up against the communities right to safely and efficiently complete their life’s needs. To my mind this case highlights the need for free speech and access to social media and RUclips, to share and compare ideas and information.

They had committed offences recently and were on bail. Hallam should have got 10 yrs. In april 2024 he was given an 18 month suspended sentence for flying drones at heathrow.
Do you think the fuel protests of 2005 and 2007 should have got longer then? They caused way way more distribution.
Flying drones at Heathrow, should have gotten a much stiffer sentence, and should have to reimburse airlines and passengers for all losses.
@@davedavids57 there wasnt what you could call a protest in 2005, the wagon drivers just refused to deliver. ,,,,,,,,,,, Panic buying was reported on 13 September 2005 as drivers stocked up on fuel with drivers reported to be waiting an hour to fill their vehicles with petrol. At its height, around 3,000 petrol stations were emptied of fuel..
@@marksavage1108 It was pretty bad, the worst was actually in September 2000 when truck drivers blockaded every single oil refinery in the UK and distribution centres for six whole days. 3,000 petrol stations totally ran out of fuel. Millions of people couldn't get fuel to get to work. Several train companies like SWT had to reduce services because they couldn't get fuel. Doctors couldn't work, cancer patients couldn't get to treatment, people died because they couldn't be driven to hospital it was terrible.
The fuel protests in 2005, 2007 and 2020 weren't as severe but they still attempted to blockad in 2005 and 2007 and took part in go slow protests on major motorways. They did several of those in 2020 delaying thousands.
But as this is a right wing channel none of the commentators here seem to mind that.
@@davedavids57 OH I know, I worked for a bloke who owned 7 petrol stations in Merseyside and North Wales. We kept 1 of each tank just for ourselves..
Remember, this custodial sentence is not just because of a the single incident at issue. These people were repeat offenders. They were given many chances to moderate the form of their protests.... but they refused to take the hint. They are not being jailed for protesting. Protest is a right, but rather for the form of their protest and the harm it caused. By blockading movement and commerce, harm was done and they had many opportunities to change their ways.
Its dangerous stopping traffic . Ppl trying to get to hospital appointments that they have been on a long waiting list for may be seriously ill .
Or who have a job - who have to commute. Those protesters cause economic damage.

It isn't often, or at all, that I look at English jurisprudence and wish we had that in the USA, but this is one such case. In the summer of 2020 we had widespread riots in many major cities. The blocking of major roads and highways was the least of the problem. Protesters tore down statues, burned buildings (including a police station), robbed and looted. The threw explosives at police officers, some of whom were maimed or killed. Despite law enforcement knowing who many of these people were, almost nobody was ever prosecuted. In fact, Kamala Harris, current VP and candidate for President raised money to bail many of these criminals out of jail.
Harris is a criminal so expected poor behavior is typical.
If only people could be bothered with the facts instead of emotional speculation.
One thing to remember is that police enforcement and judicial punishment is *not* and *never* will be just about preventing and punishing every offender, for one thing the police do not have the resources. It is also about providing a deterrent to others who would commit the same offences. As soon as you turn a blind eye to one type of crime, you open the floodgates for others following suit. How many people have you seen stopped for not wearning a seatbelt and saying to cops "Why don't you go and catch real criminals?". The answer? Because if you ignore seatbelt offences, more people will fail to wear them knowing they won't be stopped, and some misguides souls will lose their lives as a result. You can't predict when that'll happen, but rest assured it will eventually.

At what point does making an adult decision not to wear safety equipment and suffering the consequence become an interference in said persons self autonomy and self rights?
At what point does the power of the state using force and coercion against an individual who refuses to self restrain themselves inside an automobile conflict with said persons personal autonomy?
@@percussion44 Is chosing not to wear a seatbelt an 'adult' decision? Kids could equally _choose_ to travel unrestrained, and would that warrant objection? Please also be aware that being an unrestrained adult in a collision doesn't just affect you. An unrestrained rear seat passenger can kill a front seat passenger in a head-on collision. Think also of the first responders and other emergency personnel who have to deal with the result of your 'self autonomy'.
Stopping or interfering with a nation's infrastructure and/or commerce (especially for political protest) is and should be seen as domestic terrorism.
So would you support a bill banning protests and public demonstrations since you clearly seem to not understand the importances of disruptive actions, but I guess if you get to work on time it doesn't matter if democracy dies?
I can also imagine the fury and despair of a person going to a job interview, who gets blocked by JSO protesters. Or many people who could lose their job for being late for work, or miss a day, and are fired.
This is working people going about their vital daily lives being obstructed. They could lose their livelihood, rental home, relationships, their lives collapsing.

These organisations don't exist in a vacuum. We go after the funders of terrorism, yet the funders of JSO are quite openly displayed on their website. Should they not be held accountable too?
Not all of their funding is listed. I wonder how much money China an Russia are funneling to them.

One’s right to protest should not interfere with any other one’s right to live their life and fulfill their responsibilities! Protests like these cannot be tolerated!
I was on the M25 on the first one they did, I was on the other side so didn't get stopped, BUT the first thing I though was that it looked like the police were protecting the protesters, they could have dragged them off the road had cuffed them all cops had vans
It only got to this stage because the police have been allowing them and protecting them during previous many months of roadblocks. The two-tier UK policing.
They were protecting them.
The police are too afraid of doing anything they think might be controversial. It's about time the Home Secretary instructs them to remove obstructive activists from roads and railways.

"On license" -- Is that similar to parole in the US? Where you get out early but are reporting in and making sure you are employed and no breaking any laws?
Parole license so it is the same if you breach the terms you will be recalled to prison to serve the remainder of your sentence less the time you have been out . In these people’s cases they will most probably serve 2 years half of the 4 year sentence then be released on parole possibly tagged on curfew a bit earlier if they stay out of trouble . Those on a life sentence are never free they are only released on license and even if they have served their minimum tariff aren’t released automatically they have to meet conditions and often have restrictions on where they can live and where they have to be at certain times with any small breach leading to them being recalled potentially for the rest of their lives.

No requirement to be employed.

When will those governing the Country for the previous 14 years be jailed for conspiring to ruin the NHS, increasing the treatment waiting times for thousands of cancer patients, making it almost impossible to get an ambulance to turn up in less than 5 hours, in two separate incidents, for two elderly ladies? One 84-year-old had fallen and received 8 fractures in her right arm, and a 90-year-old who was recovering from a recent hip replacement who had fallen and was laid on the path with a bad cut to her head. This type of situation is happening every single day of the week in this country.
What about the disruption to the education of millions of children by the government closing down schools during their shambles in dealing with the Covid pandemic? What about all those who couldn't attend funerals because of the government's mishandling and incompetence during Covid? What about the elderly being denied treatment and visits in care homes due to the incompetence and lies of the government?
And those very same liars, cheats and incompetents then get together to agree that they will introduce a law for the plebs and that will send them to prison for having conspired to create a disturbance that resulted in a minuscule impact on the public when compared to what they were doing over the same number of hours timescale, let alone the death and destruction the government psychopaths caused over the full period of time that they were mismanaging Covid. Why are those liars, cheats and criminals never going to even have to attend court to answer for their actions, never mind serve a prison sentence for what they 'conspired' to do to the ordinary people of this country? Laws for them but not for us is the mantra of leading politicians.
'Why are those liars, cheats and criminals never going to even have to attend court . . .' - because they haven't broken any law - there you go, it wasn't difficult to figure out was it?
@@handbags4948 'On 18 December last year, when London was in tier three restrictions that made socialising illegal, Downing Street is alleged to have hosted a party that one source told the BBC was attended by “several dozen” people. Press secretary Allegra Stratton was filmed, days later, laughing with aides about the “cheese and wine… business meeting”, as she described it.
It’s the latest in a long line of lockdown breaches by politicians and senior civil servants, including…
March and April 2020: No sooner had lockdown rules been announced than Neil Ferguson, the epidemiologist and government adviser credited with producing the models that convinced Boris Johnson to introduce the rules in the first place, was breaking them. On 30 March (a week after lockdown was introduced), campaigner Antonia Staats travelled across London to visit Ferguson’s home. On the second occasion, she told friends her husband had Covid symptoms. Ferguson resigned from the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies after the visits were revealed, saying he had “made an error of judgement”.
27 March 2020: Meanwhile, the visit that launched a thousand memes was taking place, as Dominic Cummings visited Barnard Castle. On 27 March, with his wife showing symptoms of Covid, Cummings drove to Durham to stay with his family. He later said he needed his parents to care for his four-year-old son. By 12 April, Cummings had had Covid and was cleared to go back to work - but was still, he said, having problems with his eyesight. “My wife was very worried, particularly given my eyesight seemed to have been affected by the disease,” he said. “She did not want to risk a nearly 300-mile drive with our child.” To “check” it, he drove to Barnard Castle, took a walk, and sat by the river for quarter of an hour. Cummings held on to his job after the “minor breach” was discovered - but by November 2020 he had resigned.
28 March 2020: Another politician accused of bending the rules early on was the Labour MP Stephen Kinnock, who travelled to his parents’ home in London to celebrate the 78th birthday of his father, the former Labour leader Neil Kinnock, sitting on folding chairs 2 metres away from the doorstep. Officers from South Wales Police pointed out this was “not essential travel”, but Kinnock defended himself, saying he was delivering “necessary supplies”.
5 April 2020: Scotland’s chief medical officer, Catherine Calderwood, apologised and resigned after the Scottish Sun published photographs of her and her family in Earlsferry in Fife, 44 miles from her home in Edinburgh. At the time, the First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Calderwood had made a mistake, but should stay in her role - but Calderwood resigned, saying the “justifiable focus” on her actions was distracting from the pandemic response.
10 April 2020: The former housing secretary Robert Jenrick defended himself after he was spotted outside his parents’ home in Shropshire, 40 miles from his own house in Herefordshire. On Twitter, he said he had been delivering essentials “including medicines”.
14 July 2020: Much confusion over the wearing of face masks was created after Michael Gove was photographed in a branch of Pret A Manger without a mask, two days after he told TV viewers it is “basic good manners” to do so “if, for example, you are in a shop”. Admittedly, it was ten days before a rule making it compulsory to wear masks in shops came into effect, but it was still described as “destructive”. Happily, Gove learned his lesson: on 21 July, three days before the mask mandate came in, he was photographed wearing a mask while he bought a Pret coffee.
26-29 September 2020: SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was discovered to have travelled from her home to London to attend debates in the House of Commons while awaiting the results of a Covid test. Once the test came back positive, she travelled back home on the train, via Glasgow. Ferrier was not only suspended by the SNP, but was charged by police with having breached coronavirus restrictions. At a second hearing in October she was granted bail.
26/27 September 2020: Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn apologised after he and his wife were pictured at a dinner party for nine people - breaching rules that said only six people could gather. Fortunately for Corbyn, Scotland Yard said it wasn’t going to slap him with a £200 fine because it didn’t fine people retrospectively.
10 December 2020: Gavin Williamson held a “drinks and canapes” for staff at the Department for Education.
18 December 2020: With London in tier three restrictions, Downing Street held a Christmas party that, according to the Mirror, included a “yuletide quiz” and a Secret Santa. The next day, the Prime Minister announced a planned relaxation of lockdown rules would not go ahead, in effect cancelling Christmas for millions of people. On 22 December, press secretary Allegra Stratton held a mock press briefing. “What’s the answer?” she asked, when quizzed by an aide about the party.
6 May 2021: A nation squirmed as footage emerged of then-health secretary Matt Hancock in a “steamy clinch” with an adviser, Gina Coladangelo. The kiss (and that furtive glance down the corridor) took place in May this year, while meeting (and canoodling) indoors was still banned. By the end of June, Hancock had resigned as the health secretary.
12 November 2021: Boris Johnson caused outrage after pictures of him casually chatting to staff at Hexham General Hospital in Northumberland emerged: while the staff were all in full PPE, the PM was maskless. Bosses at Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust scrambled to assure patients “infection prevention and control remains an utmost priority”, while deputy PM Dominic Raab did his very best to defend Johnson in media interviews: “Like many of us, we take the advice and guidance that we’ve got in different settings and that’s the right thing for us to do as politicians,” he said.'

The liars, cheats and criminals love folks like you because that's how they keep getting away with their scams. Your right, it's not that difficult to work out is!

Because this was sabotage of infrastructure, a far more serious offence.

I am sure a lot of the inderviduals who did this have been charged as such, in this instance its the people who organised a co-ordinated effort to make each such incident part of a bigger mess - thats the conspiricy part. by doing so they significantly reduced the ability for people to get around such obstructions by takeing alternative routes. its the differance between a person robbing a bank, and a gang robbing several banks in a co-ordinated effort. or a crime and an organised crime.
